I know... I blew my budget over and over again - but I am enjoying the "pain" everyday!

Love the factory tinted windows because they are scratchproof.
And nightdriving is no problem.
Only "problem" is if someone is sitting in the backseat. They can?t be seen from the outside if it?s sunny.
Less problem if it is dark outside, if you follow ;-)

Here?s what it looks like:
Am I right in thinking these darken the sunnier it gets ? Our new mini is like that so wondering if the technology transfers....

I have the following specs:

520d- Neptune Blue

Comfort Package: Grey Dakota Leather, PDC, Xenon, Climate function, arm rest

Advantage Package: Cruise control with break function, skisack, alarm, roof rails, cup holder

Winter tires 16in Nokian HKPL XL on 242 aluminium rims
Summer tires on 242 aluminium rims

Automatic transmission, Isofix, Sport steering wheel, and tinted rear windows

Thats it
If you will buy it as a priavet car I would consider to chage one of the 242 rim sets to a little larger ones, maybe take it with summer only and after the summer change to winter on that set of rims and next summer look for a funnier set of rims. 16 will look small on it... If it's a company car, I assume there was not so many choises.

My reccomendations is also to consier the Hifi upgrade.

What about the 244's - they're nice and not that expensive.

Sorry to say, but even the 242 is only 16", I'll take them way before the 244. The 244 is also RFT.
